Chapter 1109: Chapter 1109

Overnight, almost everyone in the entire palace knew that Zhang Menglong had been firing cannons in his room all night. They were all curious about what exactly this weapon, called the "Italian Cannon Plus," was.

According to Qi Xiu's speculation, this shouldn't be a conventional weapon, because he had seen Zhang Menglong's Star Watcher last time, and this should be a new type of weapon combining Cloud Armor Technique and Alchemy.

Zhang Menglong always managed to surprise people, so Qi Xiu and Qi Ning were also too excited to sleep that night.

The next morning, Qi Xiu and Qi Ning, along with You Ruo, blocked the doorway of Zhang Menglong's room. The clanging sound of ironworking had disappeared, replaced by crackling explosions, and occasionally some black smoke wafted out of the room.

Zhang Menglong inside the room was already at the final stage.

This "Italian Cannon Plus" is not a technological weapon. This world does not have circuits or the like. It's feasible to make one technological weapon, but mass production would absolutely be a very troublesome matter.

This weapon comes from a rune civilization of medium level, and its name is the Magus Guiding Cannon.

Zhang Menglong was engraving golden rune patterns on the already formed barrel. This action was like the chips in circuits; as long as Xuan Crystals were filled, the energy from the Xuan Crystals could follow these lines to form powerful energy attacks.

The power depends on the material used to make it and the level of energy material filled.

Qi Xiu prepared a type of metal for Zhang Menglong called Xuan Tian Steel. It can mature the attack of a Xuan Tian Realm Martial Artist, so it can also produce the attack power of a martial artist of this level.

"Clap!" Zhang Menglong pressed the rune of the final energy filling part onto the Xuan Crystals. With a flash of golden light, all the runes on various parts of the cannon perfectly connected to become one.

As the light faded, the entirely black Italian Cannon Plus was finally completely finished. From the outside, it seemed like the very ancient cannons of elementary civilizations.

But upon closer inspection, the entire barrel surface was filled with dense golden lines; this was indeed the essence of the Italian Cannon Plus.

Zhang Menglong pushed the door open and walked out. Making this thing was a bit rusty, with several mistakes, and it took an entire night to finally tinker out a piece. But since it was completed, it was time to test the power of this thing.

Seeing Zhang Menglong come out, Qi Xiu and the others immediately gathered around. They carefully examined this Italian Cannon Plus, and the expressions on their faces gradually became awkward.

Is this the weapon Zhang Menglong spent an entire night crafting? Isn't this just a piece of primitive artillery?

Although this is not a technological civilization, they do have some very simple things, such as gunpowder. This kind of primitive cannon had been eliminated a long time ago. The power of gunpowder energy couldn't even match the mystic qi burst of a True Martial First Grade martial artist. To a True Martial Realm martial artist, it had already lost any damage effect.

Could it be that Zhang Menglong plans to use this thing to teach Lingyun Sect a lesson?

Is he planning to laugh the other side to death with this primitive cannon so that they surrender without a fight?

Hmm... from another perspective, this could be considered a kind of strategy too.

"What are those looks you're giving?" Zhang Menglong noticed their expressions and knew they were somewhat looking down on this Italian Cannon Plus. "Let me tell you, once this thing fires, it has the power equivalent to four pdd."

"Big Brother Zhang, what is pdd?" Ruoruo asked innocently.

"Oh, it's a unit of measurement from my hometown. You don't need to know too much about it," Zhang Menglong said casually. "Let me tell you, if we get ten or twenty of these, I guarantee Lingyun Sect won't dare even show their heads."

"If we could get a few hundred, I could turn their Lingyun Sect's soil upside down ten times!"

"Is this thing really that powerful?" Qi Xiu was a bit shaken by Zhang Menglong's description. Of course, he knew the phrase 'never judge a book by its cover,' but he couldn't possibly link this thing with those massively destructive weapons.

"Don't believe me? Want to take a hit from my cannon?"

If someone else said this, Qi Xiu might take a hit just to prove a point. With his current level of mystic qi cultivation, even if this thing hit him a hundred times, it likely couldn't break through his mystic qi armor.

But the fact that these words came from Zhang Menglong's mouth... if what he said was true, that this thing had the attack power of a casual strike from a Heaven-breaking Realm martial artist, if he underestimated and stood there to take it, he might get obliterated right there!

"Come on, let's find a spacious place to show you." Zhang Menglong casually put away the Italian Cannon Plus and led them to a wide area within the Imperial City. This text is hosted at novel[f]ire.net

"There's no one living in that place, right?" Zhang Menglong pointed to a small hill in the distance.

The mountain had an altitude of about a thousand meters, which was considered quite high in such a hilly area.

"No," Qi Xiu said, "That's a barren mountain. We originally planned to develop it, but the rocks in that area are too hard. Ordinary workers can't flatten it easily; even martial artists would have a hard time."

"Alright, that's the spot," Zhang Menglong said, "Today I'll do a demolition for you, free of charge!"

Zhang Menglong casually took out a red crystal and inserted it into the energy filling port. This thing was called a Tian Yang Crystal, a type of energy crystal stone more advanced than Xuan Crystals. The energy extracted from almost a hundred Xuan Crystals could compare to one Tian Yang Crystal.

Seeing this, Qi Xiu and the others couldn't help but swallow hard. Although Xuan Crystals were also very valuable, these royal family members were not lacking in Xuan Crystals.

However, Tian Yang Crystals, on the other hand, were only available to the Heaven-breaking Realm martial artists within the dynasty. They were strictly controlled and considered precious, even for those Heaven-breaking Realm martial artists.

"Now is the time to witness a miracle!"

A scarlet light flowed through the intricate lines on the cannon. An incredibly terrifying force gathered inside the barrel.

Qi Xiu and the others were stunned. They could certainly feel this ready-to-explode power, and were convinced that if they tried to block the cannon with their bodies, nothing would be left of them!

Zhang Menglong condensed a cluster of mystic qi in his palm and forcefully slapped the tail of the Italian Cannon Plus.

It was as if a deep bell had sounded. The lines across the cannon instantly glowed red, and the force was utterly intimidating.

With a loud explosion, a beam of red light shot towards the mountain like a particle cannon.

A moment later, a powerful shockwave radiated from the mountain top. The dazzling red light was so overwhelming it was like a sun blooming before their eyes.

The entire Imperial City felt like there was an earthquake, with everyone turning to look in the direction from which the red light came.

"What happened? Is a demon born?"

"Are enemy countries invading?"

"Is it the end of the world?"

A few seconds later, the red light gradually faded, but the scene before them nearly made Qi Xiu and the others drop their jaws.

The mountain, which even martial artists found hard to break, had a third of it instantly disappear! That tall mountain, literally seemed cleaved by one-third!

Such destructive power is something even a Heaven-breaking Realm martial artist would struggle to achieve!

"Brother Zhang, didn't you say this thing's power is equivalent to a casual strike of a Heaven-breaking Realm martial artist?" Qi Xiu said, trembling. This was probably more like a full-force strike of a Heaven Breaking First Realm martial artist!

"Yes, it's the casual strike of a Heaven-breaking Realm martial artist. I didn't specify which level of the Heaven-breaking Realm," Zhang Menglong replied.
